    I had a package shipped. When it arrived, it was damaged. I took it to the post office with all the paperwork. The guy at the post office said the insurance man would look at it and get back with me. After a week, I called the P.O. lady, who said the guy was wrong and that they sent the package to the insurance man, who then would contact where I purchased it, where it was sent, or me; she was not sure which. It's been two weeks, and I heard nothing.

    Here is the good part. When I went to the P.O. and asked how all is worked, the guy told me the insurance would only pay for the cost of the item and would not pay shipping fees. I said, "Let me get this straight. I buy something, pay you to ship it, you damage it in shipment and don't refund the shipping." He said that's how it works.

    What is going on? One week, I receive a broken collector doll. Then on 4-2-12, they shipped out an order. Cost of item was $100.00 plus shipping of $54.45, and it did not reach the location. It was shipped to China. Well, it got to China, but not to the buyer. It is at People's Republic of China. So I am out $154.45. If you can ship it out, can't you get it back?

    On May 4, 2012, I went to the USPS office located at 271 Cadman Plaza. I arrived at the post office at 4:02 and was told by a worker that I would be unable to complete my passport application. I then asked to speak to a supervisor because prior to going to the USPS location, I contacted the passport application appointment center and I was informed that the Cadman Plaza post office closed at 5:00pm. After requesting to speak to a supervisor and waiting 20 minutes to do so, I tried to explain to the supervisor the circumstances and the distance from which I traveled in reliance on the erroneous information which the employee at the appointment center gave to me. Mr. ** advised me in a rude and condescending manner that it was too bad, and it was not his problem that I received the wrong information. I believe that Mr. ** demonstrated a lack of professionalism that reflects on the USPS in a very negative light. The post office needs to be aware of the type of employees who they choose to represent them and ensure that its employees' behavior reflects the organization in a positive light.

    The ongoing issue is kind of confusing. There happens to be an unknown failure that comes directly from the post office that is causing part of my mail to be returned to sender. The confusing part is that the mail being returned is the dependable way of support to self-survival. After contacting residential post office and speaking directly with the supervisor, nothing was done because the supervisor stated that the failure is coming from the main office. Sure to what was said based on a password that the posting sticker being placed on mail provides. Besides providing this info, the supervisor also stated, when I asked if something had been done to concluding and fixing the problem, that anything I did nor all the phone calls that I made would fix the problem.

    After this, I submitted a temporary forwarding request on mail. Then I completely received no mail at all. I called the 1800 number to the post office seeking help, a claim report was submitted with a case number provided. I was told an agent was to contact me within 24 hours, it didn't happen. I called 1800 number again and was told that after revising my case, the problem no longer existed. I have re-applied one too many times to services that were lost due to this continued situation and it's still in process without a fix. I have lost not only housing on a 2 year waiting list, health insurance that's not applicable to receive no more and many approval status on nutrition assistance that have been submitted and are to be submitted after this claim. Please, if anyone can help or advise me to where I can go can send an email. Thank you.

    The postal delivery person put mail for 5 addresses on my street in my box on April 24, 2012. I hand delivered the mail to my neighbors, which included an IRS refund check for over $5,000 for one of them, and for the others, there were various important letters including apparently credit card bills, utility bills and other important documents (one even appeared to be a notification from a court of law). I don't know why this happened, but the addresses were clear on the mail. So, it appears simply to be laziness on the part of the mail carrier.

    I received my 6-month bill for my PO box fee and mailed it in, only to have them return it to me saying I hadn't paid enough. They raised their box rates between the time I received the bill (one month notice) and the time I paid it (one week before the due date). I had to pay the extra amount because otherwise, they'd hold my mail hostage! What other business gets away with this? For this increased price, I still get the same crappy service where they don't notify me that I have a package to pick up, lose my packages on a regular basis and routinely try to tell me that the package was sent to my home address even though I never provided my home address to the sender!

    The cherry on top is that they sent one of my packages to the "mail recovery center". A misnomer if ever there was one. After a week of runaround, the consumer affairs department finally told me that they would have destroyed my package because it had food items in it. No email was sent to me even though I filed a case. No one ever contacted me even though I called repeatedly to find out what was going on. I'm just ** and out the postage I purchased for them to deliver the package to its final destination! I know why the post office is going down the tubes. I just want to know if I can pick which offices get closed! I have a list!

    I ordered a gift for my husband online and had it delivered to my home. I tracked the package and it stated it was delivered on April 5th. On April 6th, I confronted my mail carrier. He stated he had no packages that day and to call his district manager. I contacted my local post office here in Taunton, Massachusetts and was told the manager would speak to the mail carrier and get back to me. Well that took two days. When we finally spoke again, I was told that the mail carrier told him he had so many packages that day that he does not remember if he delivered it or not. I live on a very busy road, common sense would tell you not to leave a package at my door, leave me one of those sticky notes that says I have a package.

    I am furious about this because no one is being held accountable for my missing package that I paid for. It was my husband's birthday gift. I was told to contact consumer affairs because there was nothing that the post office could do for me. So now I have a big sign on my mailbox "please do not leave packages" and about two days ago, a package was left and by the time I got to it, it had been opened. I still have the package. If you would like to see it, I can email a photo or send it to you. I need someone to be held accountable for their actions and the loss of my stuff. I don't have the money to just throw away and hope that people do their jobs correctly and efficiently. If you need more information regarding this matter, please contact me.

    I sell merchandise on eBay. Some items are expensive so whenever I print a prepaid insured label online, I like to get a receipt when I drop it off at the post office. I mostly use the closest post office to my house but occasionally I use the one in Colerain Ave. here in Cincinnati, Ohio. A couple of weeks ago, I went there to take a prepaid package and they refused to give me a receipt because I didn't pay for the postage there. I asked then why does every post office I've gone to give me a receipt. I was told it was their rules. Do some post offices have different rules? I had to drive 10 miles out of my way to get one. I was mostly upset because I had 3 of my grandkids with me and this isn't the first time this had happened to me at this office. I hope you understand the items I ship are expensive and my customers expect to know where their package is. Please advise and thanks for your time.

    My town is having an election. One party is not paying the required postage to mail out their flyers. They have been putting them in the mail boxes of everyone in town, which I understand is a federal crime. I have called the Keansburg post master and have been given the runaround because he is for this party. The post office is losing revenue which is very much needed, especially during this tough economic time for the USPS. I really wish that someone from the USPS do something about this. If nothing is done, then they will continue to take advantage of the corruption that continues in Keansburg.

    Our postal carrier has dropped mail that we were sending out and we have found it in the bushes. This has happened to us and the neighbors. But on 5/1/12, our door was cracked and the screen door closed, but not locked. He just opened the screen, shoved the mail in and walked off leaving the screen door open! We have cats that are indoor cats and if I hadn't been sitting there when he did it, no telling how long the screen door would have remained open and the cats could have just walked out. I'm sorry, but that is unacceptable. Are they held accountable for their actions or do we just have to put up with this type of behavior? I am frustrated and angry.

I bought the postage and delivery confirmation through one of the lobby kiosks. My receipt indicated the package would arrive on April 26, 2012. It never arrived and my mom tracked it to the main sorting facility in Honolulu. Her local PO said the tracker says it is still at the main PO, but doesn't know why. The kicker is that I spent over $5 for priority mail and the next day, on the 24th, I sent a similar sized non-priority envelope with first class stamps to Hawaii and this package arrived on the 26th! **!

Generally the company reimburses me but lately they are not. I have approached the postmaster about it, filed another such complaint but nothing. This jewelry making allows me some additional money over my normal poor wage and the economic downswing. I've received several comments like, origination point isn't sending the items, customs is at fault, gems aren't allowed into the US when in fact, what I buy is agate which is not a gem. My biggest headache is the postal service says they can't do anything about it has shut me down.

    With cuts in the USPS, its customers need to know where to go to mail letters, to get postmarked by deadlines outside the hours of our local post offices. My daughter needed to send a package this weekend. I tried to find one that was open late Saturday or on Sunday. All the USPS website does is give hours for a certain zip code. I spent about ten minuets without being able to find any, so I called their 800 number. I did not get the name of their agent, but she was beyond rude and was as unhelpful as their website. I have used other places' websites that allow you to search by hours, other services or other needed qualities. This is not the case with the USPS. Because I could not find one that was open and able to pick up an envelope, we will need to pay at least $20 to send the envelope on Monday because while I am pretty sure there was some way we could have found information that would have let us mail it on Saturday, the USPS's website was useless and wasted a lot of time.

    Antiquated websites that are difficult to use and rude customer service is not the way to treat customers. Further, I believe rude postal employees are being allowed to treat people very badly. I have submitted at least two complaints about other postal workers who seem to think it's okay to act like customers are there to serve them. I asked for a response, but I have never received any comments about nasty employees, not even an apology, having them tell me the way their workers acted was not right. Something needs to be done to make the USPS accountable to those they serve because with so many complaints on this page, it reveals the USPS is an out of control bureaucratic agency. It can be a nightmare to those who pay increasingly large fees.

    I have spoken to Martin ** at the Murrieta post office and asked him where I could complain. He referred me to this site. USPS mail service is horrible these days. They have every excuse under the sun for not being responsible for your mail once it is turned over to them. On 3/16/2012, I mailed an international first class parcel to Paris, France with a customs form number **.

    3 weeks later, I was notified by the receiver of that package that it had not arrived and when she had her post office in Paris check, they said the package was still in the USA! I went to my local post office in Murrieta, CA and they said it was shipped out of country. They told me to wait another week. I did then go back to them as the package still had not arrived in Paris. They told me it was scanned in San Bernardino, CA. I said that another postal person told me it was out of country, now you say it was scanned in SB 30 miles from here? I’m so confused and was told to contact Martin ** at the other Murrieta post office. He told I waited too long! Then I was told it was never scanned in SB nor LA before leaving the country. Meaning, they couldn't tell me if it was still in the states or not.

    I was told a number of times that I was just out of luck because I did not insure the package nor send it register mail. What happened to the USPS was under federal law they seemed to be above the law with no responsibility to the mail they are supposed to handle. They told me they don’t have to scan any of the packages going out of country. Nor does France. So what’s the point of having a customs form? They told me 5 at least different excuses why they weren’t at fault.

    I couldn’t make them pay the bracelet I shipped ($44 value) because it had no insurance. I told them the USPS does not allow us to insure a 1st class international package nor priority mail package, only global express mail, which cost $36.00 in postage as apposed to $5.00 postal for a 3 oz. item. This is a business and when you pay them for a service, they are obligated to provide that service or give you back your item or money. I asked him how do I not know a postal worker did not steal the package as it clearly states what it is in the description of the item (as per instructions on the customs form).

    All the USPS is interested in is selling you stuff you don’t need. They have the mail rigged in the USA so folks have to pay inflated express mail prices if they want the USPS to be responsible. The attorney general needs to do some investigation on the way the US mail is handled if this private company needs to follow the law and compensate the customers when it does not fulfill its obligations of mail service just like any other business has to. I want the money of value of the bracelet and the cost of shipping returned to me so I can return it to the customer who bought and paid for it and yet never received it.

    I contacted the supervisor of the USPS - Centerville, MA regarding a key I had misplaced to my box where I get my mail. They charge $25 for the lock to be changed and to get new keys. When I originally purchased the keys when I moved in to my residence, I received one key and one key only. She asked if I made a copy and I said no, because the man who took my money said I couldn't. Then I asked her if I could buy a mailbox and they deliver mail to my house. She says no, because that is not the way the mailbox was set up originally, even though my neighbors all have their own mailboxes. Then she claims (even though she wasn't the one who took my money) that I received three keys. I asked for her supervisor and she said she could not give that information out.

    I got the USPS Consumer Affairs number in Boston, received a case manager, JoAnn, who called me back to tell me the same thing as the supervisor at the PO told me, that I need to pay them $25 to get the locks changed and another set of keys. They're very rude and of no help. Neither one were there when I purchased the original key, so I'm not sure how they can be sure I received three keys.

    My boyfriend's mom mailed a large package containing a scrapbook full of photos and keepsake items. The package never arrived. The package was insured, but could not be tracked because the receipt with the number went missing as well. The post office claims to keep no record of insured packages. We were directed to contact the post offices involved, the postmaster general and write letters to the so-called missing letter warehouses. We were never contacted about the missing package. The package was quite large, large enough to contain a 12x12 scrapbook, and it did not contain anything that would be of value to anyone else. It seems quite odd that such an item could go completely missing, particularly since the contents contained so much personal information that it should be able to be re-routed. Years have gone by, and I am still enraged that a large package could go completely missing without a trace, particularly given the sentimental contents. I would never ship anything of personal value, let alone via the USPS.

Well, first I never received a slip at my home. I went to the post office (Parklawn Station) to retrieve my package and it could not be found.

    Well, to make a long story short, I called and spoke first with ** at the post office and he said he still couldn’t find it. He took my phone number and name and said he would look overnight and call me back the next day. The next day came and I had not received a call back, so I called him back and he said he was still looking. I asked if I could talk to the station manager.

The station manager put me on hold and handed the call off to **, who again took all the same information I had given ** and said he would call me back.

    The next day came again and he still hadn’t called me back, so I had to call them again. I spoke with the station manager ** again and he acted as if I had not ever called. So I had to give him my information again and he said he would return my call.

He gave me a phone number to the local consumer affairs to place a complaint and told me to come and fill out a form for reimbursement. This situation has been poorly handled by all involved so far, especially the station manager **.

Inadvertently, someone gave the number to the Consumer Affairs office in the local main PO of the state where I live. This office seemed concerned and was quite apologetic to me about my dilemma. They returned my calls in a timely manner and sent letters (yes, several) to be sure I was getting my mail. I don't know what they kicked into gear, but I received mail the next day that was dated four days prior to the delivery which tells me that the COA has pull and gets things done. I hope this helps others.

    About 5 weeks ago, the IT department upgraded the click and ship website. Since that time, the following functions do not work. You cannot download your history for 6 months, address book uploads no longer work and emails to notify recipient of tracking information are no longer sent. This has created major havoc for me. I spend $50,000 a year on postage through the postal service and as a result, I have suffered the following: I have many angry customers who want to know what their tracking numbers are and I can't give them to them, causing loss of future business. I have been unable to file my taxes, which are now late, because I have not been able to download November and December's ship totals for over 4 weeks.

    I have tried repeatedly to contact customer service regarding this issue and have gotten nowhere. I am being told that 6 months had passed and that's why I can't get the information. Well that is simply not true. When I began trying to get this resolved 4 weeks ago, it was only 4.5 months and today, we are still a week short of 6 months. How they come up with that math is beyond me. I need someone to contact me immediately so we can get this resolved for me and everyone else who has suffered as a result of this. Thank you.

    I called a Mr. ** back at the SA Broadway PO after I filed a complaint regarding not receiving my weekly paper. I had filed the complaint on 4/23. When he called me, he told me the mail carrier had delivered 2 papers to me on 4/22. Not true. When I came home, I had two papers in my mailbox dated 4/4/12 and 4/11/12. I received 3/28 on 4/16. I tried to explain to Mr. ** that this has happened before and he kept interrupting me. I also told him the papers sometimes came torn up, which I wasn't complaining about too much because I understand that they aren't in a protective cover. My complaint is that I am not receiving them weekly as I should. I've even let it go a week and sometimes, will receive two papers and that is understandable considering this is an out of state newspaper (it is from Big Bear, CA).

    My complaint is that the postmaster/supervisor, or whoever Mr. ** is, was very rude, kept interrupting me and would not let me tell him my side of the story. He keeps on saying that it was on the other end (Big Bear, CA). I tried to tell him no, that they had sent me two papers 4/4 and 4/11 in an envelope on 4/13 and I received it on 4/18, so it is not on their end as Mr. ** was saying. Again, I tried to tell Mr. ** that this is the 2nd time this has happened and he would not let me talk and again, kept on interrupting me. I have always had good experiences with the post office and everyone I have dealt with has always been friendly and helpful.

    I am not some young-teen again kid or a dumb woman. I am a 45-year old white woman and did not deserve the kind of treatment given to me by this postal worker. I don't know if he was having a bad day or what, but you don't take your attitude or whatever problems you are having out on your customers.

    Why not outsource the post office for more productivity? I have lived in the same apartment complex for about 2.5 years and have had routine issues with the mail carrier. The last one has been the classic. I noticed about a month ago that I stopped receiving any personal mail. My mailbox contains fliers and magazines but no mail addressed to me. Business associates started calling and asking if I had moved as my mail was being sent back “undeliverable”. I had not moved, not filled out an address change and definitely not asked for my mail to be held at any post office.

    I went online and sent an email asking for an investigation into the issue and received the generic promise of a response within 24 hours. Forty-eight hours later and no response, I followed up with a call. I was told nothing happened to my first email but someone would call me back within 24 hours. This time, I was furnished with a case number for tracking. The first email could not even be tracked in the system, floating in cyberspace.

    Today (within the 24-hour window), I received a call from a supervisor called ** in zip code 77304. She had no updates for me as my mail carrier was out delivering mail. She told me that it was at the carrier’s discretion to decide as, when and to whom mail should be delivered. Paying for the service was merely a formality. She asked me “Did I know how hard it was to manage apartment complexes?” I listened in amazement because my next comeback was going to be “why not find people who can manage your job?” My mail carrier had taken upon herself to stop delivering my mail and subsequently return all my mail to sender. She had apparently removed my name from the slot and according to **, I was not even accounted for in their records.

    I would like to know what recourse I have in this instance. I refuse to believe there is no accountability in this institution. Please help.

They said it was owned by the Homeowner's association. I am a renter, not a homeowner. The US Postal gives the keys free to the apartment managers to rent to new residents moving in and charge the people that have lived there longer $50! It makes no sense to me.

I sent the packages priority mail and was told the packages would be delivered on 12/22/2011. I contacted the Norwich Connecticut Post Office at the end of January 2012 and was told the packages were held for 30 days and if not picked up, they would be returned to me. The person on the phone told me she remembered seeing these packages but they were no longer in the office. The post master must have returned them to me.

She told me the packages would not have been shipped to the Annex. She said she would check on these packages and get back to me. Valerie never called back.

I became very suspicious when I spoke to the girl at the Norwich Post office the first time because she said she remembered seeing the packages. When I spoke to Valerie at the Annex the first time, I was told the girl at Norwich was a new employee. The two packages were obviously Christmas packages based on the time of mailing. They obviously made it to the Norwich Post Office from New London Post Office and they disappeared from the Norwich Post office.

    On April 17, 2012, we set up a package to be shipped overnight to LA with guaranteed delivery by 12:00 noon. We paid online ($94.54) and printed out all the shipping information. We sent an employee to the post office for final delivery and were told we had additional fees to pay. We paid the additional $186.26 and thought we were okay. Midday on April 18, 2012, the postman came to our office and told us our package could not be delivered because we had not paid all the fees. We were immediately shocked.

    My colleague, Stephanie, who set up the original shipment, went to the post office and was told we had not paid for the $15 insurance we had requested. They then informed her that we should have pointed this out to them. This is extremely unprofessional as it is not our responsibility to point out items on your forms. We had filled out all information correctly but the post office employees had overlooked this to our detriment! We paid the additional $15 and thought we were okay. My colleague, Stephanie, was told to contact **, the manager of the post office on 432 E.14th Street, NY, NY 10009-9998, if she needed anything. All payment was taken care of and our package was sent.

    On April 19, 2012, we were constantly checking our tracking information. Everything seemed to be on schedule, but at 12:00 (technically 24 hours after our agreed and paid for time), the package still had not arrived. Stephanie began calling ** and was continually put on hold. Finally, she called back and was told he had gone home for the day. It is shown to have arrived at the distribution facility but now seems to be lost. At the current time, the package is four hours (or 28 hours depending) late, so this problem is ongoing.

    This package contained our entire Autumn/Winter 2012 collection. We were sending it to LA to get needed additional sales and press. After missing the deadline on the first day, the USPS made us miss a number of press appointments. After missing the second deadline, the USPS made us lose business. Not only has this mistake caused us to lose $280.80 (+15.00 for insurance!) for shipping, but we have also lost both press and sales. We expect at the minimum a full refund for this shipment. In our business, we ship all over the United States as well as across the world. After this incident, we will no longer trust our valued shipments to the United States Postal Service.

    This is completely unacceptable. I paid for delivery of a package. The USPS is responsible for that package until it's delivered. It also just says "accepted" when I look up the receipt number. To me that means it never left the Bethesda post office. There has to be something that can be done. They need to replace or reimburse me for my lost item.

    I could go on listing several similar incidents or mention countless times we get our neighbors mails and vice-versa. The bottom line is that this person needs to either obtain the proper training to perform her duties or find another job.

    I also didn't know I needed to buy insurance for having my item stolen from my package by an internal USPS employee. The post office basically is saying there is nothing they can do since I didn't buy insurance but I don't understand how they can take zero liability for an item being separated (purposefully from the look of it) from a properly sealed package.

    I came home on April 8, 2012 to find no packages in my mailbox despite the tracking information showing that four packages were delivered. Two were shown to be delivered on April 6 and two on April 7. I was informed by four witnesses that my mailbox was left open by the USPS mail carrier. The packages that were shown to be delivered on Friday April 6 were small and would have fit okay in my mailbox. One of the two packages that were shown to be delivered on April 7 was a very large package that contained 6 shirts, two pairs of shoes, and 1 pair of shorts.

    This package along with 3 other packages was way too much to be shoved into my small apartment mailbox. My husband and I have already had issues with the delivery of items on Saturdays. One case that happened was when we ordered an expensive hardback textbook that was crammed into our mailbox and the cover was destroyed along with pages in the book. My husband spoke to the postmaster on several occasions and he said that since the package did not say "Do Not Bend", nothing could be done. The book was a thick hardback book that was delivered First Class Mail and a lot of force had to be applied to cram it into such a small mailbox and damage it the way that it was. We let that case drop, but this case cannot be dropped because we have lost around $100.00 due to this situation.

    This should not even have happened because my husband and the postmaster made a verbal agreement when the book was damaged that if there were large packages to be delivered to our house, they would hold them if we were not at home. I do not want to file this complaint but my husband has spoken with the postmaster about this situation several times and I have written USPS and have gotten no response. I know this was not my fault and now I am out $100.00 because of this. My husband spoke to the person who delivers our mail on Saturdays and she even said the mailbox popped open.

    I purchased one book, first class stamp ($9.00). I used my debit card, went home and I realized I got charged twice. I went back to the post office, I talked to the supervisor and she told me she can't credit back my account the extra $9.00 charge, I can have on other book stamps. So that's US Postal Service's policy. Maybe they need to be posted on the wall. In the future, I'll use FedEx or UPS, not USPS.

    I manage the installation of asphalt preservation treatments for an Asphalt Preservation Company. When treatments are installed, the roads are closed to traffic for a period of 24 hours. If driven on, the treatment is compromised and damaged, and warranty is void. On Tuesday, April 17th, the postmaster of the Washington Utah post office instructed his delivery driver (truck # **) to drive through the cones on the newly sealed wet asphalt surface, causing thousands of dollars in damage on private streets as well as pulling into one of the resident's driveway with wet seal on his tires, damaging their painted driveway. When I called and talked to **, he said he has to deliver the mail daily by federal law.

    I don't have a problem with them delivering the mail but they cannot do it by car. The postman in the past always walked to deliver the mail, and the longest walking distance is no more than 100 yards. ** showed blatant disregard for private property and disregard to a company's ability to provide a clean quality job upon which their reputation is based, by telling his driver to just drive through the road closed signs, cones and barricades. I know the delivery of the mail is important and I do not discount that. However, blatant disregard for others and no desire to cooperate with residents and businesses using a federal law which does not state they have to drive to the mailbox as an excuse to damage others' work and property is ridiculous, and I believe the cost to repair their damages is necessary.

    I am very angry that I had to wake up early prior to preparing myself for work and take matters into my own hands with the USPS. This is the 2nd time this same incident has occurred and I am pissed. I placed an order on April 5 from an online retailer. It's stated it would arrive in 7-10 business days. First, the package was being handled by UPS before it stated that it had been delivered to USPS and provided a new tracking number. I checked daily on the USPS website, waiting anxiously to receive my package. Friday, April 13th, was the delivery date and everything seemed to be running accordingly. On Friday, April 13th, I rushed home to no package, which was coded on the site as delivered. It was now after 5:00PM and the post office was closed.

    I immediately called the 1-800 customer service line, where they, for the 2nd time, provided me with a case number stating someone would contact me in the next business days. I was still not satisfied and decided to take matters into my own hands. I called my local post office and they just provided me with another contact (the beginning of the runaround). Since it was after business hours, she advised me to call the next morning which was today at 7:30AM, before the carriers went out. I took her advice and had done so. I spoke with the manager, who seemed to have rushed me off the phone and told me to call back in 15 minutes. During the process of getting dressed for work, I continued to call multiple times and there was no answer. After calling 8 times, I spoke to a woman, who asked the carrier if he remembered delivering my packaged. He replied "No, he did not do that part of the route and the sub did." She then placed the manager on the phone who I recently spoke to and the best thing he could tell me was to wait and that the sub was on vacation and would not be back until next week.

    Again, that is not good enough for me. I advised him, vacation or not, he need to contact that person and get to the bottom of this because this is the 2nd time this has happened. I expressed my frustration and the fact that this was not acceptable. He reiterated that I would have to wait and see if it shows up and after 30, I would be able to put in an inquiry. I want something done about this matter. It only happens when I have a package being delivered though USPS. I am beyond angry about the situation and being dealt with so lightly. The first time it happened, once my package arrived, it had been opened and tampered with.

    This post office has had problems all my life. In the past, there were post office workers that were lazy, loud, and rude. As far as I know they were replaced because I don't see them in the front any longer. Another issue is the package delivery needs to be corrected. They can't even make up their mind up on what time of the day they want to deliver my packages. They try to deliver during 9am to 5pm. I am a student. I go to school from 8am to 3pm.

    Most people work normal hours from 9am to 5pm. I'm sure anyone could see that you cannot expect people to open their doors when they're supposed to be at work. The hours used to be a little more flexible. On Saturdays, there used to be hours specifically for package pick-up. Now there are not. You must get to the post office at 9am - 5pm during the weekdays or get to the post office from 8am - 1pm on the weekend. If you cannot... oh, too bad.

I, by chance, ran into the delivery person in Dec 2011 and he said he would not deliver my mail because he would not walk under the palm trees on the public sidewalk area in front of my gate. I made complaints to the post office at 18002758777 (about 6 times) and nothing changed for a while. When it did, the only thing they did was arrange for someone else to deliver my mail separately while the delivery guy made the run to the rest of my neighbors. Fine, I would have to do my job or be fired, but fine. That really would be okay. But here I am in Apr 2012 and with the exception of his absence, I get my mail whenever, whoever feels like dropping it off.

    Its 4-13-2012 and yesterday, everyone else had their mail while at 6PM, I still had none. My mail must have been dropped off (not delivered) well after 6PM because when dropping my daughter to her school bus this morning at 6:15AM, there the previous day's mail. Well before today's delivery to be today's mail. Now its 3:32PM and all my neighbors have mail and I still have none. This is crazy! How can someone refuse to do their job and not be fired?

    The carrier simply left a bundle of mail on our front steps rather than putting it through the mail slot in the door. As a consequence, important first class mail was exposed to the elements and theft. I ran into the carrier on the next street. His excuse was that among the mail was a package that could not fit through the slot, so he left the entire bundle on the steps. It is debatable whether the package, which was a flexible plastic envelope containing an infant dress, could fit. Even if the package could not fit, should not he have put the rest of the mail through the slot. Moreover, if he was going to leave the mail outside, our side porch is sheltered and not visible to passers-by and just as easy for him to use.

If it was possible, we would never ship another item with them. Unfortunately, our items are so small that we cannot ship them any other way. In the last 6 months, USPS has gotten so bad that shipping within the USA in priority mail is now taking up to 4 weeks for delivery. This is not a single case issue. This is happening to at least 3-5 packages per day. At the end of the month, this totals about 90-150 packages that took a month to deliver when they were supposed to take only 3 days.

    In addition, we pay .19 cents per package for delivery confirmation that includes tracking. Yet, we do not actually get the service we pay for. When we asked the post office why they were not scanning to track and not scanning upon delivery even though we pay for it, their response was that it was at the carrier's discretion to scan or not. Are you kidding me? Then shouldn't it be at my discretion whether I pay for the service or not?

    This is just the tip of the iceberg in the complaints I have about USPS. I could go on for days. But I will limit it to their unbelievably slow delivery service and not providing the services they charge for. Aren't these grounds for a lawsuit?

I am at the post office 6 days a week and I see firsthand the terrible and shoddy service that is given to paying customers. I have had several bad problems with the staff at this post office most specifically one with a supervisor who has no people skills at all. The last time, she actually pulled my package out of my hands and placed it away from me. I was in shock at her outrageous behavior even though I knew from observing her over time that this was common behavior. She is rude and nasty to everyone and how she became a supervisor is anyone's guess. At the post office, bad behavior gets you promoted.

    I wrote and complained about her and another supervisor called me and spent the entire time defending her behavior. His only concession was that he said he would speak to her. I am outraged that behavior like this should be allowed. For those who are not aware, the post office cannot be sued but anyone working for the post office can and I am considering a suit about other incidents.

    I spend on average $4,000 a year on postal expense so I am not a casual customer. I go out of my way to avoid using this post office but it is the closest one to my home and sometimes I cannot. If UPS decides to open a facility near me, I would be delighted and give them all my business but the nearest one is a 25 minute drive for me. Whenever I have to go into this post office, there is always a long wait, a minimum of 25 minutes. The sign that says it will be a 5 minute wait is a joke and an insult to anyone that goes there.

    On average, I have 3 problems a month with the mail that I send and never have any problems been satisfied without it costing me more money. The postal service is a real disgrace. It is full of overpaid and underworked people who do not even come close to doing a satisfactory job. But the real problem is their rudeness to paying customers. If any business ran their business like the post office, they would not have any customers. The service has seriously deteriorated over the last three years, not that it was that great before. Last evening, I had emails from a customer who received her item in an open box and smashed into 10 pieces. Is this the service we receive from the post office?

So go ahead and put in a mailbox and waste your money.

    Today, I received ** mail by mistake. I caught up with the courier and a supervisor named Romeo. I told him the situation, and he just told me I had no mail and brushed me off. He was a very rude and unhelpful supervisor. I was expecting a check today in the mail, and I explained that if I got my neighbor's mail, perhaps, my mail went somewhere else.

    He went back and checked all the boxes for my complex and told me I was wrong and had no mail. And he said he was on a time schedule and has no time to waste with a customer. I was furious and came to find out the reason he was in such a rush was to grab lunch. Luckily, I spoke with the courier he was supervising and asked if he would check ** for my mail. Lo and behold, there was my mail that Romeo insisted I didn't have.

    I caught up with Romeo walking from Ralphs with his food and asked him why he didn't check. At that point, he asked me how I got it and snatched my letter out of my hand. Who does this? I know there are 2 sides to every story, and then there is the truth. However, the man is the rudest person I've come across. He told me I was wrong and just kept talking over me. At that point, I could see this was going nowhere. I took my mail back.

    By the way, once I have possession of my mail and your supervisor snatches it from my hand, isn't that some type of crime or theft? What he snatched out of my hand was a $2000 check I had been expecting. Granted he didn't know it was a check, it does not excuse that type of behavior. At this point, I want a resolution to this matter or even just an apology from Romeo.

    I am fully prepared to file a complaint with the Consumer Affairs and consult with any legal persons who can escalate this case, due to the treatment I received. How dare he speak down to me, lie to me, and snatch my mail containing money and my bills right out of my hand, granted he did not know it was a check? Please assist me.

    I have complained multiple times about my mail delivery over the years. Most recently (since last Summer), the problems have increased dramatically. I finally decided to change to a PO Box effective Feb. 14 and mail was forwarded to PO Box ** from that point on or was supposed to be. I have called the 800 number for the post office. I have contacted USPS through email from their site. I have been referred to Consumer Affairs Postal Div Eastern CT. Well they don't answer their phone. I get to leave a message over and over on consecutive days. Finally, I got a call today from them from a very, very rude and clueless individual named David **. When I asked for a supervisor, all I got was "I will have to have them call you", which has not yet happened.

    I wanted to get something done about missing mail, delayed mail etc. once and for all. The PO supervisor Kim has ensured that discipline will be in place for the latest offense of returning a package as undeliverable as address, but I want to document my complaints on a higher level. Well this David called me and informed me that I don't have forwarding in place for my mail to PO Box **, etc. He would not listen to me at all. He would not answer my questions. He was yelling and rude. All I wanted to know from Consumer Affairs at this point was where to I complain above them about the PO? He did not identify himself until I asked and he did not do anything, but insisted my address was not my address and my mail was not being forwarded. I know it is.

    So at this point, I waited to speak to a supervisor or preferably a manager from Consumer Affairs Postal Division to document my problems and hopefully get some satisfaction that the problems will get better. If I could, I would happily avoid the PO altogether. It is causing too many problems. Last month, I had to have multiple packages reshipped (late Feb) and now this one will have to be reshipped and now is no good to me because the contents were time contingent. Please feel free to contact me if you know what you are talking about. My address and the forwarding PO BOx number are above. They are real. I am real. I will be going to my congressman next.

The watch was not placed in the mailbox provided, but literally thrown ten to twenty feet into my front yard for any passerby to steal or walk off with. This is not acceptable. Luckily, I spotted the brown box in the yard as I left my driveway and was able to retrieve it before it walked off. There is no excuse for what was done other than disregard for my property.

The sender’s name says "Exemption Center". The least the carrier could do, is give me a clear description. Surely the return address doesn't say just that. Who the ** is that I thought. I don't like signing for mail if I don't know who sent it. I called the local P.O. which the pink slip said had my letter and could be picked up after 8am on Monday.

I am 73 1/2 years old and that's just too far, so I have to get it redelivered. I called them to see if they could give me a clear description of the sender, only to be told "No" and that I should just schedule a redelivery. I asked the man if he could do that and was told "No" again. I slammed down the phone in frustration.

    I went online and found the proper link to schedule a redelivery. I got a confirmation number and such. I scheduled a redelivery online for today (Friday, March 30th). I even got an email reminder yesterday, that the delivery was scheduled for today March 30th. I stayed home all day and waited... and the carrier never knocked, rang the bell nor made any attempt so far as I can tell to deliver this letter. I have a knocker on my door and a working doorbell. Neither was used. My neighbor's dogs go crazy when anyone comes up the walk way. I would have heard anybody.

One of the male postal workers said the supervisor at this post office told them not to put them out and prefers people use usps.com! My father doesn't know how to use a computer and doesn't own one. This is inappropriate to tell customers. Also, today I responded to a supervisor's callback to me about my USPS complaint. The same slim, long black haired female postal worker put me on hold for 45 minutes. I called back and spoke to "Brenda" and explained what her colleague did. She told me to hold for a supervisor. It's now 25 minutes later.

    Who is running the Fort Hamilton post office? Shame on you! USPS, you need to hire hardworking postal workers in need of jobs. This is the worst experience of any post office I've experienced after living in five states. Also, the Fort Hamilton post office is notorious for closing their doors a couple of minutes before the close time. Just try to go to your post office box before 6 pm and you'll notice they have closed when there's still 2 minutes left on the clock. Please investigate this unhappy post office.

    I have been waiting to get a very important letter from a health insurance company. It’s a denial letter that will qualify me for a high risk pool insurance that I have needed and looked for years. On 3-7-12, first letter was mailed from company and returned (unknown address). On 3-15-12 and now as of today, 3-29-12, they are sending again. I have no other way to get this "original" letter to my address so I can finally get the much needed insurance I have long been waiting for. My address is correct, would someone please deliver it!

    I arrived at the post office in Cumberland, Maine at 4:48 pm. There was a gentleman at the window being helped by a young lady and another gentleman waiting to be helped. I stepped into the line. There was an older woman in the back sitting at a desk. I now know she is the postmaster. She looked up, stood up and came to the front of the office. She came out the side door and announced that the PO closed at 5:45 and that the girl waiting on customers had to close her window. The other gentleman and I both looked at our watches. I realized that the postmaster misspoke–she meant 4:45. She asked us to leave. The gentleman waiting in front of me uttered a sound and I said, "You mean we have to drive to Portland?” And she said, “I guess.” We both left. I am a Cumberland resident and that incident made me very upset and embarrassed for our town.

    On Tuesday, March 20, 2012, I went to the post office for the second day requesting to speak to a supervisor regarding a USPS receipt that was left on my door to pick up a letter. Mr. Luis ** came to the counter and I explained to him that I was previously there on March 19, 2012 asking for the letter and a clerk by the name of Vera looked for the letter but could not find it without the receipt which I misplaced on that day. I took my driver's license with me and she was still not able to locate the letter. She informed me she could not find it and to return with the receipt.

    The next day, March 20, 2012, I thought maybe I made a mistake and went to the UPS store this time with the receipt and they told me I needed to return to the post office that is where my letter should be. When I asked to speak to a supervisor and explained that Vera was not able to find the letter the previous day, he proceeded to make excuses, "Vera is a temporary employee," "Maybe it was misfiled." I then asked him why do the temps not ask the supervisors for assistance instead of sending the customers away if they do not know where to look. He they said, "Don't tell me how to do my job." I found his manner to be unprofessional and rude! Why is Mr. ** in a supervisory position when he doesn't even know how to communicate with customers? He needs to be sent to an anger management class and some communications skills seminars to learn how to be a little more professional with customers.

    I was upset because I felt that I was made to run around in circle and it was not necessary. Had Vera asked for help or had better training as a temporary employee, the customers would not be upset. Had I received a sympathetic or concerned response from Mr. ** instead of a sarcastic and rude response, I would not be writing to file a complaint. If I do not hear from you, I will file a complain with the State Attorney General regarding this matter. Also, I tried to contact you by phone and the phone just rang and rang and rang.

    I dropped off a package to be delivered via express mail the next day. I was told a price at the post office; I dropped it off at and I paid it then they told me it would be delivered the next day. The next day came and it was not delivered. I called and was told that a research order was put in and that they would contact me when the package was found. I never heard from anyone so I called back and talked to a supervisor who told me that an order was not put in. They also told me that there is a limited time frame that they deliver packages in (contrary to what I was told earlier).

    The supervisor then put in a delivery order but by this time it was too late to hear from anyone. I called the main office in Atlanta today and finally got someone with a brain. It was then that I was told of the mistake made by the person I gave the package to. This has been a nightmare and took way too long to find out what happened.

    The mail carrier at my apartment complex is horrible. I am disabled and, because of that, cannot walk to my mailbox every day. I try and go every 2 or 3 days, but sometimes it is only once a week. I think that because of this, the carrier feels she can do what she wants with my mail. Friends/family who have sent me mail have had it returned. Important bills and other mail that I need have also been returned. Plus the carrier will tell the complex manager she has taken all the mail out of my mailbox and it will be held for me at the post office. Yet when I contacted the post office about picking up the mail, they inform me there is nothing being held for me.

    Other times the carrier has told the manager I need to clean out my mailbox because it is full and when I go down there the same day or the next day, there is not anywhere near enough mail in it to be considered full. Plus she is putting mail for other apartments or past tenants in my mailbox. The tenants' last name is on each mailbox so there is no excuse for me to receive someone else's mail.

    Back on January 31st, 2012, I mailed out 4 packages from the Graf Garrison post office to the states. Within 5 days later, 3 of the 4 packages arrived at their destination. The last one still has not made it. Neither the tracking information nor the customs information can be used to locate this package. I am not sure if the individual who helped me out forgot to scan the box, but now I need help tracking it. I have already filed claims with the USPS and with the MPSA. The fact that the customs has not been scanned makes me think it may still be lost somewhere in Europe or held up at customs. I am hoping you can look into this or provide me contacts to help track this down. Anyway, below is as much detail as I can provide about the parcel, its contents, etc. So I hope that you can use this to your advantage to help me out.

    The delivery confirmation number is **. The customs number is **. Return address: **. Delivery address: **. Please note that we are now currently living at the delivery address as we have moved back to the US and are no longer on active duty. So if the package is located, it will need to be sent to the delivery address.

    The box was wrapped in a brown paper wrap. That is what had the delivery address and return address on it, although, it may have come off based on the inability to track the package. The box within the brown paper was a white moving box with red print. I am fairly certain it was an AGS Worldwide Movers box. It has a bird on the logo.

    Within the box, I had packed each of the items in plastic bags that probably had either "the exchange" on it or perhaps a "commissary" bag. Some of the main contents include a First Act Fun in a Drum (pink), which includes a harmonica, tambourine, 2 drum sticks, and an ocarina. I also remember putting a whole bunch of infant spoons inside the drum. They were NUK spoons. It also contains a Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Fun with Friends musical table. I had disassembled the music table to make it fit in the box. There were 4 legs (blue in color) and then the table (a variety of activities and colors on it) itself.

    I had several large wood knob shape puzzle pieces in there. The board for the puzzle was shipped in a different box. There were a total of 8 shapes: circle, triangle, square, oval, rectangle, hexagon, diamond, and octagon. There was also a variety of clothing in there, children’s and men's clothing that I used for packaging. That was the majority of what I can recall from the box. Hopefully, that should be enough to identify the contents.

    For the past 1 1/2 months, I have been trying to send relatives a package to Iran. I have lived in the US for the past 35 years. I am accustomed to your procedures on mailing a package to Iran. However, every package that I mailed to Iran was returned to me with a letter saying that either the form is incorrect or the information is not filled in. Upon close inspection, I have reviewed these documents with your workers and all the information is written correctly as well as the information inserted in the form is correct. I always make sure that I confer with the post office that I'm using the correct form.

    On Saturday, 3/24, I went to the post office to pick another returned package (my 5th returned package) and was obviously quite upset. I asked the assistant manager for help with mailing packages to Iran. Her response was why don't I just go myself to Iran and deliver the package as I see I am having problems sending it or just go to FedEx. At that point, I was so upset that I asked her to help me. She called the police instead and totally embarrassed me. Even the customers in line were upset with the attitude and behavior of the assistant manager and the racist remarks. Needless to say, I have been totally embarrassed in my own community and still have no solution to my problem. Your attention to this matter will be kindly appreciated.

Box 30046, Tampa, FL 33630-3046 which contained all my personal information relative to my wallet being stolen last June on the Red Line and collection notices I began receiving as a result of someone counterfeiting checks and putting my name and old address on them.

I was informed this business never received my envelope. I have been trying to track this envelope for weeks.

    There is no updated tracking information about it being delivered (although I paid additional money for this). I wrote to the USPS (800 ASK USPS) last Thursday about this. Roseann, a rep for Boston Consumer Affairs, called me on Monday and told me that it was sent to zip code 33600 and offered me no further information about where this envelope is. I asked that she have someone else call me about this. I got a follow-up call today for a Joanne **, who advised me to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office, Consumer Affairs. I have had trouble with them in the past as far as certified mail sent from my business.

If they aren't going to deliver packages, they need to allow me to pick it up the same day as the notice.

They take down your complaint, hand you a case number and tell you that it will be forwarded to "someone who can best handle this" (they use the same line all the time) and someone will call you back in 24 hours.

    I lodged 3 complaints and no one ever gets back to you. They only tell you the same thing you told them, that it is still in transit. I don't need consumer affairs for that. I already know that by checking the tracking website. I finally got a notice at my home in CT saying that the package is there and I can pick it up at CT. I was relieved, but that did not last long. I went to the post office in Danbury, CT and they could not find the letter. So now, not only did it get lost in NY but finally made it to CT, but now the CT post office lost it. I called consumer affairs once again, only to be given yet another case number and told the case be forwarded to "someone who can best handle this". It's like they read a script.
